Dr. Alex Yule spearheaded a free dental clinic for the poor and the homeless in Kamloops in the early 1990s and more recently established the East Side Walk-In Dental Clinic, which serves both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal patients from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. With little seed money, Dr. Yule obtained donations of space, equipment and volunteer dentists and dental assistants to assist those less fortunate.
